 * Hello – I’ve activated google books api and copied the api key from credentials.
   
   But Recencio finds no book by ISBN. What could be wrong?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fgoogle-api-16%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hello,
    Can you share with me the ISBN of this particular book? Also, it should
   be noted that not every book has an entry in the GB API

 * for example 978-1452114309 – Tartine: Book No. 3: Ancient Modern Classic Whole
   
   it would work with Goodreads but it doesn’t work with Google Api. I can add any
   number instead of the api key, I always get the same error (“Your book was not
   found on Google Books®”)

 * I got it to work by removing the “-” from the ISBN.
 * Also, make sure the “External Book API” setting has GB checked and that “Enable
   Google Books®”is also checked.
